About our bath resealing in Milton Lilbourne

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Milton Lilbourne

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Milton Lilbourne

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Milton Lilbourne

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
